PartnerAlan Luberda authored the Practical Trade & Customs Strategies article "Supply Chain Basics: Thirteen Things Every Importer Should Know About Risks Involved With Sourcing Products Subject to Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders." The article discusses the operation of the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) laws and the supply chain risks they pose. These risks are often not well understood by importers, but they have potentially expensive consequences. Alan explains that in making supply chain decisions it is important to understand how U.S. unfair trade laws work and whether any items in your company's supply chain may be subject to AD/CVD orders.
